grazing. eye-vtk;nr depends upon the

grazing, everything depends upon the
| condition OF the soil. Here is the toun-
dation, and unless this is il proper con-
d;tion the suhStructure is boInd to fall.
A great deal has been said and written
rs to the proper depth to plow, and there
| is such 4 difference OF opinion among
farmers in regard to it the. question is
still as far from being settled as ever. we
think. however, that the leading cause
for such difference of opinion may be
found in the land itself That good
crops are and can be grown on shallow
plowed land that is good no one Will
deny, provided the season be neither too
wet nor too dry. e., with moderate
rains the whole season. In such season
any one can raise good crops. But such
seasons are rare, and, in fact, every sea-
son is likely 10 be attended with either IL
long drought or long wet spell. Now
what the farmer wants is to guard against
both, and the only way to do it is to
break up his land as deeply as posi-
ble-say not less than seven to ten
inches. Bet how is this to mend the
matter? We answer, very easily. In case
OF anPdNS Tdln ldiSc loilioH " 'tiS
water, instead of running off, will be abb
sorbed by the deeply disintegrated land,
where it is held as if by sponge for the
use of the plants and if drought should
intervene, there is supply of water Just
where the plants want it, and when cN-
hausted, its place is at once supplied by
capillary attraction from below. 1t will
thus be seen that by deep plowing the
farmer provides against draught by hay
ing a supply of water in reserve, or a
place ready to receive and ho.d it when
ever it comes. The better to insure, this.
however, as well as to facilitate the es-
cape of too much water, It's better to use
subsoil plow and an additional team,
running the same Immediately after the
breaking plow, and ripping up the sub
soil the desired depth. This need not
be done for every crop raised on the
land, but only once in every three or
four years.
1t has been well said that it is better
to have two acres cf good land. one on
top of the other, than as many acres
alongside of each other, as it costs only
il If as much to tend them. The way 10
do this is by deep plowing, and thus
double the depth of the soil, rs well as
the crops grown thereon.

Furrier's Collie.

Furrier's lie is becoming fatal dis
ease. if what a local furrier tells me
amounts to anything. 1t is contracted
by working on fine furs and in inhaling
the small particles which rise from them.
These particles accumulate in the lungs
and stomach, and when once they are in
hailed it is impossible to rid oneself of
them. They are liable to cause con-
sumption or cancer of the stomach. Said
my friend, the furricr: 1T is impossible
for one to work on furs over six months
mt time and not be affected. 1t is very
lucky for furricrs that their season is not
long one. To be sure when they work
six months they receive but six months
pay, but they have chance to live
longer than they would were they obi ged
to work all the year around. Brass buff
ing is similar to working on furs. The
small particles of brass get into !. ms
lungs and cause an incurable disease. -

An Ant Tran.

The best ant trap for those who arc
troubled with this little red or black in
sect is large sponge washed well and
pressed nearly dry, leaving the cells well
opened. Sprinkle over it some fine white
sugar and place it where the ants are the
most troublesome. They will soon col
lcct upon the sponge and take up their
abodein the cells. Then it is only neccs-
sary to dip the sponge in scalding water
which washes them out dead by the tens
of thousands. Put on some more sugar
and set the trap for new haul. This
process will soon clean the house of every
ant.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
GROWING Wheat After Corn.

BY planting early of IN early-ripeninS
corn, the crop may I've got of in time to
SOW with wheat, thus getting land seeded
again in the shortest time after the sod
has been broken up, and providing a
covering for it in the winter wheat the
following winter. The corn field so
managed should be near some grass land,
to which the ripencd corn may be drawn
as soon as cut and left until dry enough
to husk. This, though involving more
labor, is better plan than the old-timc
practice of plowing or cultivating be-
tween the rows of stalks and leaving the
latter to be seeded just at the beginning
of winter In these times this late-sown
wheat will not amount to much; but by
clearing off early the wheat may be sue
cessfully grown after the corn. The
practice of sowing wheat among the
corn stalks or corn. shocks is slovenly

and the result is we arc offered new
non-swarmin@ system by which plenty of
room, both for egg laying aud storage in
boxes is given as required, and swarmins
prevented and its benefits secured part of
them by having a ncw set OF brood
combs built from starters It is claimed
that this plan is sure and will no doubt
be tested in manN ;:i,i.!rirs this season.
The management is as follows: Early in
the season, before the bees get the desire
to swarm, a hive containing empty
frames mot combs) or those with starters
only, is placed under the brood-ncst. AS
the harvest comes. boxes arc given, and
as fast as occupied the boxes are raised
and others placed underneath As the
top ones are finished they are removed,
and more boxes are placed under the
second set. which are then at the top.
Boxes should contain drawn-out comb
and be given as often as required to
occupy all the bees and prevent much
work below. If comb is built in the
lower frames it is removed when but two
thirds finished, and is never allowed to be
completed. The principle is to always
have unfinished combs in the brood
chamber nearest to the entrance. If the
space is farthcst from the entrance or at
the back of the hive, there IS n possibility
of swarming.

How to Kill the Curculio.

The best method to save the plum crop
from the ravages of the curculios is by
jarring the trees, and killing them when
they fall 70 do this we take large
sheet enough to spread as far as the
branches reach, then give the tree sharp
sudden jar, when the curculios will fall
and can be seen on the white sheet.
and at once crushed between the thumb
and finger The best time to do this is
early in the morning, when they are be-
numbed by the cool air, and are very
sluggish and can scarcely fly or get away.
The trees must have quick, sudden jar
to bring the curculios down. This is
best accomplished by cutting off small
limb a few inches from the tree, leaving
a stub on which to strike with a fair
sized hammer. By this means they can
be speedily dislc dyed. A piece of iron a
few inches long may be inserted near the
branches in the body of the tree. A
three-eighth inch iron bolt can be used
for this purpose. A hole should be bored
in the tree an inch or two, deep enough
to hold the bolt in place, which will an

plan. The bolt is left in the tree from
